    Torsion Bars

    Does anyone know how to replace the torsion bars in the trunk? It looks like the single bar has snapped.

    Use a used serpentine belt to move and set the new bar. I have done one that snapped, you need a buddy to move the trunk up and down.
    fairly easy, much easier with a belt to set tension

    This tool works the best.

    Am I correct that the subwoofer needs to be removed?
